I'm Mick. I'm a college student, and a bassist. I'm from Houston, and trying to amass a board I'm finally content with. I get frustrated every month or two and try and rebuild it. However, I have no job at the moment so its tough.

Hey all!
I'm sjtele. I stumbled on this board via my never ending quest for beautiful noise. Great info here! I'm a graphic designer by day, guitar player and hands-on tinkerer any chance I get. Tho I've never built any pedals I have a real appreciation for the people that do create them... extra points for nifty artwork! Been into fx ever since I got an EHX DMM back in the 80s, yeh, we've both been around. Just love the stuff that's been coming from the smaller, hands-on builders. Recently got a Mid-fi pitch pirate, clari(not), Mellowtone wolf computer, and a few from Monsterpiece. All excellent stuff. :rock:

Hi.

I am the man they call Spiteface. I Live in the bowels of Hell or as like to call it, Newbridge, South Wales, UK.

My favourite bands are currently Smashing Pumpkins and Manic Street Preachers, also into bands like Mogwai and Godspeed You! black Emperor and some shoegaze stuff.

I play guitar (obviously) and am looking to add some more fuzzy goodness to my few pedals I have. I found out about Devi Ever pedals browsing other forums, and youtube, and will be looking to buy a couple soon, once I have made my mind up.

I also love Wrestling waaaay more than is healthy, in particular WWE and Ring of Honor (indy promotion - See avatar).

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

I'm Alex, I'm 27, I play guitar, keyboards, saw, mallet percussion, whatever. I have a band that's not really active, where I try to combine shoegaze, post-rock, and folk (folkgaze? fuzzgrass?). I love My Bloody Valentine, Neutral Milk Hotel, the Microphones/Mt. Eerie, Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Mogwai, Pet Sounds, Godspeed You Black Emperor, all kinds of stuff.
I constantly crave new and exciting pedals and effects, and I'm looking forward to starting building pedals to satisfy my craving for crushing, mind-enveloping amount of fuzz.

I'm kevin, too old to tell, playing very long time in various noisy punky bands, most notably hullabaloo (boston) back in the early 90s, my new band ritual spinning killing can be found here:

myspace.com/ritualspinningkilling

These songs feature no less than 8 Devi pedals, can anyone pick them out? There are also about 15 other new and old fuzzes.

Hi all

My name is luke, I'm 24 and live in Geraldton, Western Australia. I'm into heaps o different music, but predominantly Mars Volta, Mogwai, GYBE etcetera. Have an absolute disdain for the term post-rock, actually, it might be for the suffix of post altogether. In love with Devi's beautiful creations: TBD + guitar + violin bow + feedback loop = agitated frontman. Thankyou Devi. Why is it so hard to get your pedals here!

Nice to be here,thanx

Also,any npn silicon will do,but the mpsa13 is the best

Hello, I'm new .

I'm 17, living just south of London and play bass and guitar. I've been hooked on effects for quite a while but always the boss/ ehx domain, its good to find some far out custom pedals and a community with similar music/ noise tendencies. Big fan of post rock (GYBE name, of course), post punk, anything experimental, ambient, drone, psych folk, minimal classical and electronic, will give anything a try. My Great Wall should be being made/ sent off as we speak, I'm pretty excited.

I've played the bass for a dozen or two bands since before-the-internet, with a variety of instruments and a pedal or two. Can't remember anymore, feedback got my attention.
